Towchester, Chips & Automobiles

On Saturday I got up while it was still dark to take the car I bought from gumtree, to my uncles garage near Milton Keynes. Now the reason for getting the car serviced is that we are attempting an epic 9hr road trip to the highlands of Scotland this christmas to shoot the teaser for a film and I don’t fancy freezing to death by the roadside. Now I knew I would be straying into @documentally country, so we planned a rendevous.. see also Dr Chan’s Chiperarium..

On the way back I got stuck in 5hrs traffic, but thats another story for another time..

Music In Order of appearance, Aphex Twin, Jackson Heat Seeker & RATM..

    *Love* this video – especially the roaming about while locking onto @Documentally mug (is there a technical term for that?).

    Have had a 5DII for a while but yet to foray into video. What did you use to edit film/process the blue colour cast?

    Awesome stuff!

    @Rupert You know this is all your fault right?

    @AL I think its a variation on Steadicam, this particular construction was made by @documentally in his camera lab :) There was no post processing or colouring done on the video, As you can see there are a lotof changes in colour as I was messing about with the settings, the blue shots are wheere I have cranked the 24-105mm lens right open to let as much light in as possible then turned the ISO right down.

    Ahh – cheers for the info! Have that lens so will get playing :) The home made rig works really well! Should’ve known it was a @documentally contraption – he shoots enough video!
